UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 

 SCHOOL OF FORESTRY. 



Fourteen juniors and seniors of the Uni- 

 versity of California School of Forestry 

 have returned from Califorest Camp on the 

 Plumas National Forest, where they have 

 been engaged in the varied work of the 

 immer course. Professor Metcalf, Pro- 

 5sor Bruce and Professor Fritz were in 

 charge. 



Many improvements in the camp accom- 

 modations were completed during the year, 

 the most notable being the swimming pool, 

 which the boys built themselves. 



Evening meetings before a roaring camp 

 fire were held at frequent intervals. District 

 Forester Redington, Supervisor D. N. Rog- 

 ers, Lumberman Ray Orr and Professor 

 Walter Mulford were among the guests en- 

 tertained at these meetings. 



Professor Fritz has been conducting a 

 field study of utilization and waste in the 

 Redwood region this summer. 



Professor Metcalf has recently returned 

 from a trip to Whitaker's Forest in Tulare 

 County for remeasurement of sample plots 

 of Sequoia gigantea second growth. 



Professor Bruce leaves shortly for an in- 

 spection of the Redwood region with Forest 

 Examiner S. B. Show. 



Professor D. T. Mason left the faculty in 

 May to open a consulting office, in Port- 

 land.

In congratulating the editors of The 

 Ranger, Forsythe Sherfesee, Forestry Ad- 

 viser to the Chinese Government, says : 

 "The publication reflects great credit upon 

 the spirit and ability of all concerned in 

 its preparation, and it is my earnest hope 

 and belief that it will be of increasing 

 value to the entire personnel of the Bureau 

 and to the cause of forest Conservation 

 in the Philippines". 



With the third number of The Ranger, 

 published monthly by the Filipino Rangers' 

 Association before him, the editor of
